Handling

One of the best bike to handle corner. But beware the double and side

stand will hit the road if you lean to low.

At certain lean angle (estimated more than 50%) the engine will auto turn

off. This is one of the preventive measure to prevent any damage to the

engine.

The seat and front and rear suspension is comfortable enough for long distance.

The handle bar is uncomfortable, will cause pain around the palm.
